124 Metres of 0.70% Cu, 2.10 g/t Au (1.96% CuEq) in Infill Hole at Kwanika

Vancouver, B.C., December 16, 2020. Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is

pleased to report the first batch of assay results from the 20 20 drilling campaign completed at the Kwanika Project in

north-central BC. A total of 4,350 metres we re drilled in 9 holes testing a number of exploration targets and resource

expansion opportunities. The advanced resource-stage Kwanika project is ~26,000 hectares, held by Kwanika Copper

Corporation (KCC)*, and is located in the Quesnel Trough of British Columbia which hosts numerous porphyry copper -

gold deposits.

“The significance of the se results can ’t be understated in terms of their positive impact on the Central Zone at

Kwanika. K-198, t he infill hole, besides confirming a very long mineralized intercept continues to demonstrate the

presence of discrete higher grade intervals that may be amenable to more selec tive mining within the overall

underground resource shape . Furthermore, it appears that the bounding Pinchi fault lies fu rther west than previously

modelled which may allow us to bring existing resources back into a potential mine plan. K-197 opens up the Central

Zone to the south and K196 demonstrates that a deep copper -gold system occurs some 500 meters to the north of th e

Central Zone associated with a strong IP geophysical signature and both areas warrant additional drilling to continue to

firm up resource expansion opportunities”, stated David W. Moore President & CEO of Serengeti Resources.

DDH-K-196 intersected a newly recognized deep Cu -Au system that remains open to the north. K -196 was drilled

toward the west to follow up on a broad halo of anomalous gold intersected in 2016 above a deep geophysical target

approximately 500m north of the Central Zone resource. The hole intersected two mineralized intervals, the first of

which is dominated by intrusives of vari able composition cutting andesite units of the Takla Group hosting disseminated

and quartz-vein bearing chalcopyrite and bornite. The lower mineralized interval is dominated by silica -sericite +/- K-

feldpar altered diorite -monzodiorite cutting Takla andes ites hosting pyrite -chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization. The

presence of abundant sulphides in the lower interval likely explains the deep geophysical response which continues

approximately 400 meters towards the north.

DDH-K-197 opened up the Central Zone for expansion below and to the south of the current pit -constrained resource.

K-197 was drilled to follow up mineralization intersected in K -23 and K -190 with the goal of expanding the open -pit

constrained resource and exploring the potential for additional grade along the Central Fault . The hole i ntersected

silica-chlorite-K-feldspar altered diorite-monzodiorite intrusive rocks hosting disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite,

bornite and locally native copper, and opens up the Central Zone mineralized system towards the south.

DDH-K-198 drilled through the underground resource shape, expanding it incrementally to the west , and includes two

significant intervals of Cu -Au enrichment. K-198 w as d rilled to test fo r higher-grade domains and continuity of

mineralization above and beneath the proposed underground extraction level (465m ASL), and continued westward

before intersecting the deposit-bounding Pinchi Fault . Substantial higher-grade intervals including 124.3 metres

grading 0.70% Cu, 2.10 g/t Au and 3.0 g/t Ag (3.32 g/t AuEq) within the underground resource sha pe highlight the

presence of high-grade domains within the deposit. These better grade inter vals are associated with strong K -

feldspar-silica-sericite altered intrusives , quartz stockwork zones and syn -post-mineral dyke margins hosting bornite

and chalcopyrite. The intersection of the bounding Pinchi Fault west of where it was previously modelled at depth may

also have implications for resource expansion in that direction.

* Serengeti is sole funding this year’s Kwanika program. As a consequence, the Company’s ownership of KCC

will increase to approximately 67%, with POSCO International Corp. holding ~33%.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Sample analysis for the 20 20 Kwanika drilling program was completed at Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory in

Vancouver, BC, which is ISO 9001:2015 and 17025 accredited. A robust quality assurance/quality control program was

completed which included inserting field blanks, standards and duplicates into the sample stream before being shipped

to the laboratory. QAQC samples accounted for a minimum of 10% of the analyzed samples in addition to the

laboratory’s own quality assurance program. Copper and silve r analysis were determined by MA200 in exploration

samples, and MA300 for resource and near -resource samples. MA200 is a combined ICP-ES/MS method following 4-

acid (MA) digestion with detection ranges of 0.1 – 10,000ppm for Cu, and 0.1 – 200ppm for Ag . MA300 is an ICP-ES

method following a 4 -acid (MA) digestion with detection ranges of 2 – 10,000ppm for Cu, and 0.5 – 200ppm for Ag .

Overlimit analysis for Cu were determined by MA370, an ICP-ES method following 4-acid (MA) digestion with detection

ranges of 0.001 – 10%. Gold was determined by FA430, a lead collection , Fire Assay/AAS method using a 30 gram

sub-sample with detection ranges of 0.005 – 10ppm.
